Topic: Worst Dubs? (Read 40360 times)

Dont get me wrong, Im not a snub. In fact, there are a few series i actually PREFER the dub for. But for everyone, theres at least one series whos dub was just so wrong, so horrible, so tacky that you pretty much shuddered. Anyone wanna share? For me, there a few, but the main one is Lucky Star... Seriously, the dub sounds like the same person doing a Bart Simpson impression of varying pitches. XP

I really didn't care for Sumomo's voice in the English dub of Chobits. ^_^; Honestly I'm sure there are other dubs that I really disliked, but can't think of, because I generally didn't watch them for more than a few minutes.

I'm pretty sure this thread exists someplace else.. Anyway, Excel Saga, or to be precise Excel on Excel Saga. I am aware that she is annoying in both the Japanese and English version, but when you can't even finish an episode because of the voice, it is time to think about changing it. I suppose there is an argument that you can say the VA did an exceptional job, in fact she even EXCELED

I also didn't care much for the dub of Magic Knights Rayearth. I don't know, I watched a bit of the dub and it just didn't work for me.

But yeah, if I don't like a dub I just don't watch it. I appreciate dubs, and hope that Bandai can stay strong and keep making 'em, Bandai always releases my favorite shows and I love their pool of VAs ~

i must say the companies nowadays are doing a MUCH better job than before. but i still prefer the RAW/SUB versions (since i am trying to move to japan and become more fluent) so yea ._.english translations are just making me lazy! >~<

I guess it kind of isn't fair of me to comment too much, seeing as I just do not like dubs.Don't get me wrong, I've watched a dub or two, I just think that the Japanese voice actors do a better job of matching the characters. As well as screams and laughs.

See, I respect the efforts of both, and i feel the characters better either way depending on the show, but otherwise, each has its pros and cons: Subs are cool cuz they are more often unedited (ARENT THESE JELLY DOUGHNUTS DELICIOUS??? 8D) and japanese is a really beautiful language... Dubs are cool because i find myself connecting better with english, and with anime that have less on screen action and more talking (like Death Note) i can multitask and enjoy the plot by listening alone Either way, it usually has more to do with how well the dub is done. Oh, and despite the bashing happening in above posts, i infinitely prefer the ouran DUB. The characters are way more expressive and fun to watch

Yesterday I saw Ulquiorra's english voice *on demand TV* and It really disappointed me... It's not that I want to be a bitch BUTI was hoping for a better voice X''D </3

Mmm I come from a place where dubbing is srsbsns and they have been always proudof the dubbing. I MUST BE HONEST and say that many people in my home countryalways say "Lol! American dubbing just so wrong! Dx!" However! NOW that I had the oportunity to watch it I expected something worst but it wasn't as bad! not bad at all, Utena was good! Ouran wasn't as badBleach with Ulquiorra's and some other exemption was not bad either XD

I still prefer Japanese original Voices, I think must of us doBUT I think dubbing is okay, there's so many people who dislike reading subs.and it helps expanding it, right now with the awful economy it's importantanime doesn't tumble

i usually go with the manga for a lot of series ._. i just love how in some manga there's a lot more story to it, than the anime (one GOOD example is fruits basket) i hated that anime SOOO much! D:< i loved the manga though <333
